We're not going to yell at each other.

We're not going to train with music.

It beats you up too much.

We're not going to do touch and go.

We're going to do reset reps and we're going to do lower reps with stricter form because they beat you up too much.

So we learned during that when we were training for it, we learned some stuff can beat you up too much.

And you don't know that until you've

hit it until you've worked that hard and you got really strong most of the listeners you know Ashley Hodge weighed 130 pounds and hit 315 for 18 now she's even stronger but you don't most people never train that hard

Most people need to train harder.

Then there's the category that people who train too hard.

What we now know is that Arthur Jones, back in the day, the Mike Menser approach, hit once all out set to failure.

That probably is the most efficient way to train, the most economical way to train.

You're in the gym.

You can be in the gym 45 minutes twice a week and make good gains.

The problem is it leads to injuries over time if you don't swap, rotate the exercise.

And you don't have to perform every set to failure.

In fact, there's some evidence now emerging that you can get just as much hypertrophy, similar strength gains, but like you might want to leave a rep or two in the tank and do a little more volume.

So everything's very nuanced.

But when I moved away from San Diego, I moved to Vegas.

Now my squad is left to train on their own.
